Former Cliftonville striker Liam Boyce has signed a contract extension with Ross County.

Boyce has put pen-to-paper on a new two-year deal with the Scottish Premiership side.

It is reward for an impressive late burst of goals from the Northern Ireland international.

Former Werder Bremen striker Boyce – who has four international caps – was signed by previous manager Derek Adams from Cliftonville.

The 24-year-old has scored eight goals in 29 appearances since moving to Dingwall, with four of them coming in the last three games.

He recently bagged a classy hat-trick in a 3-0 win over St Mirren to help County rise up to 10th spot in the Scottish Premiership table.

Manager Jim McIntyre – who has also tied down new deals for Craig Curran and Kyle Macleod – said: “I am pleased to secure the three lads – it’s very good news for the club and for the players themselves.

“Liam and Craig have been in great form in the first team and Kyle has shown a great deal of promise.”
